Tiger Woods has made $1.4 billion in his career

Despite his struggles on and off the golf course, Tiger Woods is
still the biggest money-maker in golf, earning $55.1 million in
winnings and endorsements in 2014
according to GolfDigest.com.

Woods is still the top golfer in earnings despite only playing in
seven PGA Tour events in 2014. Of course, most of Tiger's
earnings came off the course, which is where the world's richest
golfers make their real money. Arnold Palmer was the
fourth-highest paid golfer in 2014, taking in $40.0 million, all
in endorsements.

Overall, Tiger has taken in $1.37 billion in his career, with
$1.21 billion coming off the course. But as we see in the chart
below, those earnings have dropped quickly in the last five years
and there are signs that is going to change anytime soon.
